Hi I'm a 34 yr old mom of two young kids and my surgery is scheduled for August 2017! Im excited and super nervous at the same time. Just wanted to see if anyone else was getting surgery in August too?

On my pre op liquid diet I could have protein shakes but not first week post op. Every dr is different.

I've been assuming no protein shakes on the clear liquid diet--just stuff that is actually clear, like water, Crystal Light, broth, herbal tea, jello, sugar-free popsicles. I do have some protein water, too, which is clear.

Your list may be different, but I just checked my post-op clear liquid list, and the protein shakes aren't on it--they're added on the full-liquid diet. So better to check your instructions, I think . . .

My surgery is Monday. I'm ready. Going to finish cleaning out the fridge tonight, throw away anything that can't be eaten in the next couple of weeks.

Day before surgery no protein drink .. up to that day I had to have 4 a day for two wks clear liquid pre op diet

I am going for surgery tomorrow as well. Excited and scared .Good Luck

Hello I got sleeved on the 24th and just today started having cravings I really had to go for a walk when I started feeling like this it's been a journey for me How could this be is this normal?

I was sleeved on 8/10/17 and had cravings for certain foods that I was allowed in the next level as I advanced to the next phase of the post op diet. Crazy thing is once I actually ate the food, I didnt want it. In fact, it didnt even taste good to me. I think its just our minds going through changes...Stay strong! You can do it!!!!

Thank you cause I was getting discouraged I'm on a clear liquid stage one I shouldn't be craving but I know everyone is different I will push forward Thanks
